Calling himself EDGAR

NO children

Wife alive. And much older than him

To find children, look at freebmd or GRO site

When and where did he marry?

Have you looked for wife’s death?

ALSO..where was he BORN?

I don’t have access but I think you were previously advised to use the freebmd site. This should give you the wife’s name and with any luck , the chance of finding some children.
The 1921 won’t tell you if there were children if the were away from home.

Hi, would be gratful for info from 1921 for the above. Probably living Brixton and married to Caroline. Was music hall entertainer. Interested if there are children or if widowed. TIA, Simon.
